Industrial Climbers & Tree Surgeons
Industrial climbers and tree surgeons work in places where vehicles may no longer be able to reach.
They perform maintenance, repair, and safety work on wind turbines, building facades, power pylons, bridges, solar panels, or in treetops – often at great heights and under challenging conditions.
This work is specifically carried out in locations that are inaccessible or only reachable with considerable time and effort using conventional means such as vehicles. In tree care, in particular, trees are frequently located in areas that are not always accessible to machinery and vehicles – in these cases, work is carried out exclusively using rope access techniques.
These tasks are performed on wind turbines, building facades, power pylons, bridges, solar panels, and in tree canopies. The real problem: Getting to the job site
Before the actual work begins, climbing specialists have to transport all their equipment from their vehicle to the job site
- across rough terrain
- across construction sites or industrial areas
- through forests, parks, or urban structures
- over longer distances to the entry point
The equipment doesn’t always fit in a backpack; sometimes spare parts, machinery, and bulky, heavy specialized equipment are needed:
- Harnesses and fall arrest systems
- Ropes, winches, and rigging equipment
- Tripods and rescue systems
- Abseiling devices and belaying equipment
- Communication equipment
- Drone technology for initial reconnaissance
- Chainsaws and tools
- Material boxes and spare parts
Transporting this equipment costs time, energy, and productivity—often before the actual work even begins. The Monowalker Fatmate solves precisely this problem.
What the hand truck is to the average tradesperson, the Monowalker Fatmate is to industrial climbers and arborists. A foldable, all-terrain, single-track expedition trailer that is ready for immediate use and reliably transports equipment to the work site. The Monowalker handles 50–70% of the load.
